10 British things you just don’t mess with

According to a recent report, American film director George Lucas experienced
a baptism of fire on the Elstree set of Star Wars back in 1976. Instead
of the work ethic he was used to when filming in the States, a very British
adherence to union rules prevailed which meant shooting was delayed for
twice-daily tea breaks. What Lucas failed to appreciate is that for the
British, tea is more than a warm beverage. Tea is a way of life. It is the
answer to almost any problem that arises. In the face of disaster we put the
kettle on. We are very serious about our tea.
